Hello,
I bought the game GTA : Vice City, but every time I enter a car the game freeze.
The radio keeps playing and the map(compass) move, but the rest (cars, people, lights, etc..) stay still.
On foot the game run great, no problem.
On GTA 3, I have no problem at all, in car or on foot.
Anyone else have problems with this game ?
I am on CM10.1 (10/01/13)
Thanks a lot !
EDIT :
I tryed :
Re-downloading the game.
Changed the graphics options
Additional information :
Nothing happens during the cut scenes, I just hear the voices.
I'm french.
Cheers !

Hey Zotak, I have Vice City on my device too which is also running CM10.1 and mine runs perfectly - I've never had a problem.
There are a few simple things you can try such as freeing up space on your device, deleting the game's cache and data (this is safe and doesn't remove save games), ensuring you have no CPU or memory-heavy applications open whilst playing the game. You can try using this app to remove any applications using up all your memory.
What is your current CPU state? Try changing it to about 1075MHz and then playing, your CPU might currently be restricted. (settings>performance>processor)

Hahahahahaha I was waiting for this. Just go away you pest! Let the moderators worry about this, I quietly reported the post, that's all you need to do, you don't need to show that you're a kiss ass to everyone and interrupt people's threads.
edit: there we go, it's been moved no need for you to comment at all! Do you have anything to add to this guy's question? Ask yourself that next time you decide to tell people off. Jeez.

Not to break the initiative or anything, but you've made four posts in this topic, containing nothing that's not yet on xda-developers. The applications you mention all have their own topics, except for chipperX, which if I recall correctly, you've opened a topic for yesterday, asking for opinions on the on-screen gamepad?
Ok hello welcome to the thread tomasz. To answer your question is very simple. Iam new to this , so what I have done was download some games and apps and tested them out. After I tested them out I will put here what works. This way a thread could be made with already tested downloads , not just downloads that might not work. And no the chipperx game download is only here.
Pocket pc pong 480x800
This is a simple game just for fun . Shoot the ball to the top beat the opposing paddle. Little pac-man type charactors pop-up after you score , hit him and your score jumps high. I thought the game was fun but easy at the same time
ok you have anything to add

Woah,... Where on earth to begin?......
1st question to ask yourself,... Are you happy to keep it Orange branded?.... Or do you want to install a custom ROM?.... Bear in mind, some ROMS have little tweaks added for better performance and stability, some are experimental, and have bugs that that need a little ironing out, but you could swap and change as many times as you want to test and find one best for you.
BUT BE WARNED,... Changing your ROM will in theory invalidate your warranty,... but you can always flash back to an Orange ROM should you need to send it for repair.
So its up to you?... This is the guide I followed to install a custom ROM,... Check it out,.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
Second,... I'd update the radio to the latest one,... The radio is something to do with how well network, wifi, gps etc work,... I updated mine and saw a big difference in network reception.
,..... Now we can start talking about apps,... All I can do here is give my recommendations,....
Apps
TuneWiki - Can show lyrics for music on your phone or even whilst streaming LastFM.
Spareparts - Extra 'settings' options not available as standard. i.e... Transition animations, Font size, Haptic feedback. Also shows Battery & App statistics.
Shazam - No explanation needed.
Opera Mini - " ".
Movies (by Flixter) - Local movie show times + cinema and DVD reviews (?).
Co-Pilot Live - Satnav.
Astro - File manager.
ACV aka Droid Comic Viewer - Self explanatory.
Audio Manager - To set volume levels for Alarm, Media Player, Alerts, Ringer, System and Calls,.. All in one easy place,... Can then add as a widget to one of your homescreens.
Games
WaveBlazer - Was addicted to this on my 5800, couldn't resist getting it again.
Armagedon Squadron - As above
MotoXMania - I think this is from iPhone, get the moto x'er from one side of course to the other by tilting phone to control biker's weight distribution.
SpeedForge 3d - 3d racing game with mines and rockets set in future, quite difficult (for me) but still fun.
Tetris - Classic!!
Solitaire - Always fun.
PapaStack - Puzzle game, have to stack up all given blocks and make them stand for 10seconds before moving on to the next level.
ThrottleCopter - Based on old flash game "copter". Click button to control throttle on helicopter to get it though the course. The most addictive game so far.
Replica Island - Fun platform game.
EDIT,... Found another even more addictive game now,...
Sketch Online - Online Pictionary,... I cant stop playing it, Minimum an hour every day!
Hope some of that helps pal.
Peace.

Not a radio like FM radio,... I think radio refers to anything that sends or transmits,. i.e The WiFi, GPS, actual network connection. So updating the 'radio' will make those better, and sometimes may increase battery life as well.

The last GTA3 thread had to be deleted because of such behaviour, so this is everybody's last warning - the slightest hint of anyone distributing copies of this or any other paid app/game in this thread will result in instant bans.
Haven't tried it myself, but Rockstar has issued an update to the game on the Market adding full support for PowerVR devices. It now allows me to install it on my Defy which means they've explicitly added support for it.
Will purchase it when I get home and report back. Not gonna download the game over 3G!
I buy games from the market because i am an id*iot..
I do not download games..
SO ANY BODY GOT THIS BABY WORKING? I GET AROUND 30 FPS WITH LAGS.
BUT CAN PLAYING.
edit the gta3.set whit hex editor
i have edited one for defy
all effects from the xperia play (light,shadows,trafic light, blood, smoke tire ....)
resolution to medium low
and distance to medium low
and som small tweaks for stutter (not working 100 % yet)
if you have problems i can upload my gta3.set not the game itself only the gta3.set file modded .
I am using the .DAT file fore SGSII.. and the game work perfect but with a little lags... can you pls describe how to change the shadows and dis. to medium? cause i just might change the SGSII file and optimize it for Defy use..
Here is a little tip how to make GTA3 more playable for you :
**Use at your own risk**
-Download from Google SD date files for GTA 3 for Tegra 2 (nVidia GPU).
-Replace with it the Original ones.
-Download ChainFire 3D and install plugins for Tagra GPU.
and use only low quality textures (might help a little)
-Download the .dat file for samsung galaxy S 2 and replace with it the original.
-also you can delete the radio music as i did but it might, might not help .
Now the game must run a lot better and with better quality then before.
again you can always restore every thing if you made back ups..
P.s. Tegra 2 Chainfire 3d plug in won't work on a normal GTA 3 but only for the version which was optimized to use with tegra 2 gpu.
p.s.s you can also turn off Dalvik JIP . i may or may not help you...
yeah sorry i was @ work here you go
http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=495708&st=0
iam working now to lower the sound quality so the gameplay is smoother (iam hoping that posting the audio map is not warez here)
I have already optimized it for Defy. and the phone working better then iPhone4.
btw i lowered the resolution and view distance to better and don't have any issues .
Not the best and i believe that only v1.3 will fix most of the problems.
Just i have minor lag issue sometimes .. when cache is loading and i have no idea how to get rid of it.. i have tried to disable dalvik but its not very helpfull...
any ideas?
Playing just fine here after 1.2. If you are using chainfire better uninstall it as almost every game I tested with it got frame drops.

I now have a problem with the game, it just closes in the middle of a mission, no reason. Can you explain all the steps you've done in order to play it?
PD: if we're both from Argentina, why speak in English? xD

Hahaha it's true. I think because of the forum's rules.
I gonna wait for install this on my Defy, at least until it's more clear.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Saludo kapos, yo voy a esperar a que todo esto se esclarezca un poco antes de querer instalarlo en mi Defy (la vez que intenté no me anduvo).
You can communicate in any language you wish but there must be an English translation posted too.
Any posts that do not contain an English translation will be deleted and the user responsible will be punished.
So, the game is almost unplayable in my Defy. Lots and lots of slowdowns.
I asked some of the people here for their files to try, but no response so far. Then I saw this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417810
I installed it, but doesn't seem to change anything.
Anyone had any luck with it?
Hello there !
As a first time user of Android coming from an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.x I was amazed by the SGS III that I own.
So far, so good.
However I have a huge issue that is really starting to get on my nerve : why the hell I cannot keep my apps running in the background ?
I had friends trying to convince me to go to android, saying how it's rocking, how it's multitasking is awesome ... WHAT MULTITASKING ?
Many of you may know, but iOS finally brought multitasking with iOS 4, something people said that was really lacking to iOS when Android had it for a long time - let me laugh.
Well, let's be honest. Yes there is some sort of multitasking thanks to services that are not killed by the system, but I do not use them, I only need them to perform to do wahtever they are supposed to do.
And also between your recently launched apps as long as you keep switching between them in a very short amount of time.
And that is all.
So iOS 4 brought multitasking on a phone with only 256Mb of RAM (iPhone 4) and with only that much, I managed to keep running three games : Lords & Knights MMO, Wolrd War and iMob. They are not 3D games so they do not use too much RAM as would do a 3D game such as NOVA. And, the cool stuff is that the multitasking on iOS keep the apps as long as there is free RAM (I even managed to go as down as 17Mb, and then the system killed some (not all !) of my apps !)
That was really nice. Before iOS 4, I had to relaunch them each time a notification brought me back to them (they are internet dependant games). And with iOS 4 and then 5 and today 6, I can enjoy switching between them without lag, without relaunching as long there is free RAM.
With android, I CANNOT DO SUCH ACTIONS. Even if ICS is nice, fast on the SGS III, when it comes to multitasking I feel like I have been brought back to iOS3 on my iPhone 3 and 3Gs (thank God, SGS III is fast enough to relaunch the apps in not time, but stil...)
As I said, I launch my game, go back to home screen, lock the phone, unlock it minutes after and the games are gone. ALL OF THEM.
Here is what I found out in order to solve this situation :
- based on the kernel version and model, android will keep killing apps that are not services after a few minutes in the background ;
- my games that I want to keep running do not offer the possibility to keep them alive in the background ;
- I tried many apps (ram manager pro, auto memory etc...) none of them helpt me although they did offer features that would be the answer I as been looking for.
- I heard scripts would solve this situation, but I dot not know any of them.
So what is next ?
It is simple : I would like to have an app, or a tweak or script or anything else, but easy to use, that will help me keeping some of my apps alive in the background.
Thanks to anyone who could help me out with this.
PS: I have an international SGS III wit CM 9 running on it.
CM Version is : 9-20120909-NIGHTLY-i9300
Kernel version is : 3.0.15-CM-g026d5ce [email protected] #1
Build version is : cm:i9300-userdebug 4.04 IMM76L eng. .20120909.083444 test-keys

I am sorry. I did not really know that I was "bumping" my thread when it was on second page.
Who comes check on second page to answer, anyway ? I think most people do not ... unless people here are very generous ! ^^
If it is the rule, I will let go my thread further back in this forum in hope I will get an answer somehow to a matter that has been troubling me for months.
It can not be done as far as I know.
A few hacks/apps try to lower the oom value of apps, but it only last for a limited timeperiod.

Is this some sort of a joke ? Are you saying that even though I have plenty of free RAM I cannot use them to run apps in the background ?
This is ridiculous to say the least. Where is the multi-tasking ?
Anyway, thanks for replying.
